Dynamic album not found after upgrade to 1.4.5.2

tosca

I just upgraded to the last version, and ZP doesn't seem to find the dynamic album I use to display several images on my home page; I get the message
`Fatal error: Instanciation invalide de l’album : star.alb/ n’existe pas in /homez.110/marienoe/www/photos/zp-core/class-album.php on line 726` though the album does exist in the albums tree, and the `star.alb` file seems to be OK.

Has something changed about dynamic albums in this new version? Or what should I check/modify in order to make use of this album?

tosca

And when I click on `View album` from the admin page, I do see the content of the album. So, my guess is that the album is OK, but maybe something has changed about the way I should use it?

tosca

I think you told me recently something about a change in album instanciation, but I cannot find it again... It seems that's my `new Album` that doesn't work anymore and provokes this error.

NB: How can I display all the threads I have initiated? I'm sure you've given me the answer somewhere, but the only name displayed for each thread is the one who answered last!

Found it here: http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=387271#post-582190
So you said to use the new function `newAlbum()`; but I still get the same error when doing this `$mySelection = newAlbum('star.alb/');`

I don't know what else I could try now...

No slash in the name actually unless it is a sub album (album/subalbum)

tosca

Got it eventually, after having removed the tailing `/`, so the final syntax is: `$mySelection = newAlbum('star.alb');`

tosca

And I had to do the same thing for using the `printLatestImagesByMtime` function that allows me to display the most recent pictures thumbnail. Guess this final slash has now to be removed in any function using an album folder...

If the trailing slash did work in the past it was an accident. But certainly it would now violate the album test. What it amounts to is an empty sub-album name.

I have the same abend doing a metadata refresh on the main album "alb1" (see tree below) :

- alb1
- sub-alb2
- dynamic-album1
- dynamic-album2
- dynamic-album3
- dynamic-album4
- sub-dynamic-alb3 using folder tag (each time i add a new critera and refresh the metada inside this dynamic album i have the abend below, then if i delete the album and recreate it i have all my critera)

Please install the current support build and re-test this. If the problem still exists, please create a trouble ticket on GitHub.

Thanks Stephen but it is not good.

I have the quick message : Fixed album xxxxx/zzzzz parentid was 575 should have been 624

After i have the same error messages and the album title has been replaced by the .alb name.

I create a trouble ticket on GitHub.
